Hello Everyone.. This is hard to word but i hope you get my drift...

I recently bought a Nissan R33 Gtst from a company that imports cars (Will not name company as there may be further action against them)and was told i would get a RWC and all the stuff needed to get the car regoed in Aus ( I have it in writing)

I finally got the car 14 days ago. i look for the RWC i cant find it... So i ring the company, it went straight to message bank. I ring this company for the next 4 days and same thing... So i thought stuff this i will just get the RWC myself.. I took it to the work shop i always use and they said inorder to get a RWC i need new tyres.. So i told them to go ahead and get me a good safe set of new tyres.

So i thought everything was sweet.. I had the RWC/Import Details/Complaince Documents nothing could go wrong..

I go to get the car regoed today..Burwood (well my dad did, I had to work) and i get a call at 9 and he tells me that the tyres are not the same as on the complaince sheet... they neeed to be 225/50/R16 ...I was like wtf where are them tyres then... I ring up the complaince workshop... (It has changed hands in the past 3 weeks) and tell them that they did not put my tyres on... He said he had nothing to do with my car and it would have been the previous owners that would have done my car... (He said he has been gets stacks of phone calls a day about this same problem from this company)

So i had spend all day ringing this import company to get no responce...

So inorder to get my car regoed i need the same tyres as on the compliace sheet which are 225/50/R16... And as my rims on the car at the moment are 18 Inch i will need the whole wheel.

I will learn from this stupid mistake, But i am asking if anyone out there who has these tyres that i need could rent/sell/lend to me i will put a deposit down if needed. I will hopefully make another appointment at Vicroads on Friday 20/7

If you can help sent me a message

Thank you very much

Greg

Man, sounds like you've been fu(ked in the arse. I'd be very interested to know who the workshop is so I can tell people to avoid them. PM me the name if you can.

Regardless of it changing hands you had a contract with them yeah? I'd be going down there and kicking some arse!

PM sent regarding names and other info.

**JaR** I live in Doncaster so if no one is closer i dont mind driving

haha i had a similar story.

my seller used the stock r32 wheels to compliance car but put back the rims which were sold with the car.

Burwood vicroads told me they were the wrong tyres and I had to get them swapped back with the stock r32 wheels.

Shouldnt the workshop have the wheels they used?

I just drove back to my dealer and told them to swap the wheels with the ones they used..

Common thing for burwood vicroads to pick up little things like this. Apparently dandenong vicroads let it slide according to my dealer haha

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
